SUMMARY: Gay, lesbian and bisexual is vulnerable. Kathryn found that they're being punish more harshly thatn their straight peers. They get picked on by their peers, teachers, the school, the police and the court; even though they have a smaller chance of making troubles then their straight peers. K thryn Himmelstein started the research of gay teens as an undergraduate student at Yale University and now a high school math teacher in New york City. She spend a lot of time in juvenile justice system study gay and lesbian teens in there , but she can't find any study in the scuentific literature about how likely is it for them to be involved in any crime activities and being punish more. In her senior year at Yale University, she found some research the National Longitudinal study of Adolescent Health had been doing between the year 1994 and 2002 on the gay and lesbian's health and bahavior problems of the students in middle and high school.
Scientists have done study on about 15,000+ students on middle achool and high school and found out that gay students have suffered through a great amount of harassment from classmates. There been many files in Unites States about gay, lesbian, and bisexual students being bullied and suicide due to all the harassments. Researshers surveyed teenagers about the use of drug, alcohol, weapon, stealing, crime, and lying to parent to study the differnt behaviors of the different types od the students. They concluded that gay, lesbian, adn bisexual teenagers are likely to commit small crimes such as lying to parents asn some non-violent misbehavior compare to their straight peer. However, their straight peers are more likely to be involved in some seriuos crime and violence.
